Programs & Networks
We have a comprehensive approach to helping our women lawyers thrive and grow.
The Women’s Network creates community and opportunities for mentoring through its programming. Highlights include:
- Career chats with women partners and clients, including Deputy Chair Valerie Radwaner, Loretta Lynch and Jeannie Rhee, that are candid conversations about their career journeys. As one associate noted, “It reminded me that there is no single path – I need to forge my own path for success.”
- Book Club that includes hundreds of women, all reading the same book and gathering to create meaningful friendships across the firm.

- Gender Bias and Women’s Rights programming on such issues as the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the firm’s amicus brief on behalf of the business community, reproductive rights and the firm’s amicus brief in June Medical, and gender bias in the courtroom with Legal Momentum.
- Informal Mentoring through small group gatherings, fun activities hosted by partners, and community service events such as the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk.
